Timberwolves dig
for a cure
By BRETT KANE
East Oregonian
The
Timberwolves
proved they were tough
enough to wear pink and
beat the North Idaho Car-
dinals at home on Friday
night.
The game was a part
of the “Tough Enough to
Wear Pink” campaign,
which raises awareness
and funds for breast cancer
patients and survivors in
the community. Proceeds
earned from admission and
pink T-shirts sold at the
door were donated to the
St. Anthony Care Clinic
and the Kickin’ Cancer
New Beginnings program.
BMCC selects one game in
October every year to spot-
light the charity.
“We knew (North
Idaho) would be a tough
opponent,” said coach
Jessica Humphreys. “We
wanted the extra hype,
and the girls get excited to
wear their pink jerseys. It’s
tradition.”
Timberwolves
setter
Sophia Casarez put her
team on the scoreboard
on the first play with a
kill. BMCC had a five-
point lead before the Car-
dinals came back strong
and brought the score to
a 24-24 tie. The Timber-
wolves narrowly claimed
victory to end the set,
28-26.
The second set was
smoother for BMCC,
opening with a three-point
lead thanks to kills from
Casarez, and middle block-
ers Syndey Neuman and
Faith McQueen. The set
ended in their favor, 25-16.
But
the
Cardinals
came back with a ven-
geance to claim set three
with a 25-18 victory, and
even managed to make
the fourth difficult for the
Timberwolves, tying it up
24-24 near the end. Neu-
man recorded a kill and
Idaho middle blocker Syd-
ney Bybee sealed BMCC’s
win with a 26-24 set-clos-
ing score.
“North Idaho is rou-
tinely tough,” Humphreys
said after the game. “We
would’ve had the third set
if we kept our intensity, but
I’m proud of how the girls
responded. It feels pretty
damn good.”
This is Humphreys’ sec-
ond year as Timberwolves
head coach. She said Casa-
rez brought the passion and
fight to the court against
the Cardinals.
“It’s all about energy
and team dynamic, and
we came out with both,”
Casarez said. “We love
each other like a family.
We played as a team 100
percent tonight — there
wasn’t a moment where
everybody wasn’t giving it
their all.”
DAWGS: Scored three
times in the fourth quarter
Continued from 1B
down, a penalty backed
the Falcons up to the 42,
and they fumbled on the
next play, with Hermis-
ton’s Zane Davis coming
up with the ball.
The game was scoreless
in the third quarter, but the
Bulldogs put three scores
on the board in the fourth
to take a 35-28 lead.
Noland scored on runs
of 8 and 10 yards, while
Youbani Razon caught a
19-yard touchdown pass
from James, who finished
with 170 yards in the air.
The Bulldogs stepped
up their defense in the sec-
ond half, putting Noland
on the field. He caused
havoc in the backfield, and
had fun in the process.
“When he told me
I could play defense, I
was excited,” he said. “It
worked out fine.”
In a close first half,
which saw the Falcons take
a 21-14 lead, the Bulldogs
struck first on their open-
ing drive, moving the ball
67 yards in 2 1/2 minutes.
Andrew James capped the
drive with a 37-yard touch-
down run up the middle for
a 7-0 lead.
Hanford
quickly
replied, getting a 61-yard
burst up the middle from
Jared DeVine for a 7-7
game.
Hermiston looked to
take a 14-7 lead on their
next possession as James
hit Wyatt Noland with a
43-yard scoring pass, but
a holding penalty by the
Bulldogs brought the ball
back. On the ensuing play,
Blake VanderTop inter-
cepted James, and the Fal-
cons took over at the Bull-
dogs’ 27.
Five plays later, DeVine
bullied his way into the
end zone from 1 yard out
and a 14-7 Hanford lead.
Noland got his first
touchdown of the game on
the next drive, taking the
ball in from 1 yard out for a
14-14 game just 2 minutes
into the second quarter.
DeVine scored his third
touchdown of the game,
again from 1 yard out with
2:33 left in the first half for
a 21-14 lead.
Hanford was closing in
on the end zone just before
the half as Gabe Martinez
caught a pass from Gar-
rett Horner. Martinez was
knocked out of bounds
at the 3-yard line as time
expired.

ECHO 51, SOUTH
WASCO COUNTY 6 -
A last-second touchdown
from South Wasco County
in the fourth quarter were
the only points Echo
allowed at home on Friday
night.
“They played amazing,”
Cougars coach Rick Thew
said of his team’s perfor-
mance. “Defense played
lights out.”
Quarterback
Devan
Craig passed for 167 yards
and three touchdowns, and
also recorded nine tackles
and one interception.
Running back Mason
Smith rushed for 127
yards, including three
touchdowns.
Running back Mychael
Pointer had four receptions
for 80 yards, and recovered
a South Wasco fumble and
ran it into the end zone for
a touchdown.
Echo (6-1) will play
their final regular sea-
son game at home Oct. 26,
against an opponent yet to
be determined.
NYSSA 35, IRRIGON
14 - Irrigon dropped their
home game to Nyssa (6-2,
3-1) on Friday night.
Running back Pay-
ton Smith rushed 45 yards
and quarterback Keith
Fleming caught a 19-yard
pass for the Knights’ two
touchdowns.
“We played really well
in the first half,” said coach
Ken Thompson. “I was
really impressed with how
the kids played and ran the
ball. But (Nyssa) pounded
away at us.”
Irrigon (3-5, 0-3) will
close out their season
with one final home game
against Umatilla (1-6, 0-3)
on Oct. 26.
NLCS: Starter Ryu tagged for four runs in the first
Continued from 1B
at Dodger Stadium with
the same formula it used to
win the NL Central during a
breakout season.
Some timely hitting by
Aguilar and company pro-
duced an early lead, and
Corey Knebel and Jer-
emy Jeffress led the way
in another shutdown per-
formance by Milwaukee’s
tough bullpen.
Los Angeles was looking
for its second straight NL
pennant and some time to
prepare for the mighty Bos-
ton Red Sox in the World
Series. But losing pitcher
Hyun-Jin Ryu was tagged
for four runs in the first
inning, two on a double by
Aguilar that sent Braun slid-
ing home.
After Wade Miley pitched
into the fifth inning in his
second straight start — he
faced only one batter in
Game 5 — Knebel, Jeffress
and Corbin Burnes closed
it out with hitless relief.
Knebel got the win and
Burnes retired the Dodgers
in order in the ninth, setting
off a wild celebration for the
crowd of 43,619.
If manager Craig Coun-
sell was tempted to bring in
the dominant Hader, Aguilar
likely erased that urge when
he scored on a wild pitch in
the seventh, and then sin-
gled in Lorenzo Cain in the
eighth. The big first base-

man had driven in just one
run in the series heading into
Game 6.
Freese drove in both runs
for the Dodgers. The rest of
the Los Angeles lineup man-
aged just three measly sin-
gles. Hounded by boos all
night long, Machado went 0
for 4 with two strikeouts.
The 35-year-old Freese
was a surprise choice for
leadoff hitter by Dave Rob-
erts, and he made his man-
ager look quite good when
he started the game with
a drive to right-center for
his ninth career postseason
homer.
Freese also connected in
the first inning of the previ-
ous NLCS Game 6 in Mil-
waukee, helping the St.
Louis Cardinals win the
pennant in 2011. It was just
his fourth time in the lead-
off spot in his 10 years in the
majors.
But the Brewers put

together a quick response
that set the tone for the rest
of the night. With runners on
first and second in the bot-
tom half of the first, Aguilar
lined an opposite-field dou-
ble into the corner in right.
Mike Moustakas fol-
lowed with another RBI
double and scored on Erik
Kratz’s single to make it 4-1.
The Brewers managed just
three runs in the previous
two games in Los Angeles.
Christian Yelich and
Braun combined for another
run with consecutive dou-
bles in the second, and then
it became a question of strat-
egy for Roberts and Coun-
sell with Game 7 on deck.
Roberts
used
start-
ing pitcher Rich Hill in the
eighth after Kenta Maeda
struggled, staying away from
key reliever Pedro Baez and
closer Kenley Jansen. Coun-
sell stayed with Knebel for
five outs, giving him his
first pro plate appearance
with the bases loaded in the
fifth — he struck out — and
Burnes worked two perfect
innings.
